The New Year's Eve

Attaching some of our photos from the preparation to the countdown for New Year's Eve. It was a huge event for us because 2009 left so many memorable experiences and we're silently hoping and praying that there won't be another Ondoy or another Maguindanao Massacre for 2010. We also enjoyed Christmas but I guess New Year's celebration gives more meaning to the word change. It gives us hope that there's another year to make the changes we want.

For our dinner, we prepared barbeque, pancit canton, 1 kilo of lechon, leche flan and fruit salad. My father in law marinated the pork the night before and Jeff did the grilling. FIL cooked the pancit canton because this is his specialty. We bough the 1 kilo of lechon from our Ninong Jun, who's the owner of Jun's Lechon in Valenzuela City at a discounted price of P500, originally at P700. Jeff bought the leche flan from Bocaue Market for P50 each and I prepared the fruit salad using 2 all purpose cream and 1 1/2 tetra pack of condensed milk, 1 can of fruit cocktail, 2 buko, 1 bottle of nata de coco in light syrup, 1 can of peaches. We also managed to complete 1 dozen kinds of fruits which we bought from Monumento.

Though it's still and again, Me and Jeff on New Year's eve but it was a great experience. We're now hoping for a brand new Year. Happy New year everyone!
